Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sports training device useable for both indoor and outdoor training sessions, linked to a communication network capable of connecting multiple remote users in shared training sessions.
- Indoor sports training devices are well-known in the state of the art and are commonly used by professional users as well as sports enthusiasts. Initially, said devices were conceived as alternatives to outdoor training, for cases where the user did not wish to leave an enclosed precinct in order to practice sport, due, for example, to the weather conditions outside, the comfort of exercising in one's own home, or the convenience of combining a specific training exercise with other sports practices, which can all be practiced in the same enclosure. Widely disclosed examples are treadmills, which are very common in gyms and sports centres, stationary bicycles or rowing machines, among many others.
- the present invention aims to resolve the aforesaid drawbacks, by means of a device that incorporates different elements for sports practice in both indoor and outdoor mode with training means that are easy to use, together with a simulator managed on the basis of the information generated by a Web application, which includes a customisable training system, in addition to recovery and analysis of the data generated by users during their sports practice.
- the aforesaid system helps to improve the quality of training and physical performance through a process, which users can configure by varying their training routines according to their requirements.
- the invention allows practice by multiple users simultaneously, and can also be configured in competition mode, which provides a greater sensation of training, together with the possibility of integrating real training sessions performed outdoors so that they can later be reproduced during an indoor practice session using the simulator installed on the device, or of sharing them with other remote users, by means of the Web application.
- the device presents, also, the advantage of being able to record information on the user's physical condition (heart rate, blood pressure, calories burned, etc.), and also on the mechanical parameters of the training device employed (speed, acceleration, rotation, etc.), whether outdoors or indoors during the whole of the sports practice.

- the present invention consists of a sports training device comprising the following elements:
- the training means ( 1 ) has, at least, one rotatable member ( 2 ) which presents a variable resistance against a force applied by the user while conducting the sports activity.
- Said force may be, for example, the force applied by legs and feet during pedalling, the force applied by legs and feet while running, or the force of arms and hands to move an oar.
- the rotatable members ( 2 ) may comprise, for example, a bicycle wheel, one or more rollers on which a treadmill rolls, or an axle on which an oar turns in a rowing machine.
- the training means ( 1 ) comprises a bicycle
- one of the rotatable members ( 2 ) is a roller ( 9 ) attachable to the back wheel of the bicycle, in such a way that said wheel makes the roller ( 9 ) turn, with the movement transmitted by the force of the user through the bicycle pedals. In the absence of other forces, the roller ( 9 ) turns freely with the movement transmitted by the bicycle wheel.
- the training means ( 1 ) comprises, at the same time, a braking system ( 8 ) of the roller ( 9 ), which makes it possible to reproduce situations very close to reality in terms of resistance, positive slope perception on the part of the user and sensations of pedalling on the road.

- the braking principle in the embodiment of the invention just described is based on making a magnetic field generated by the magnets ( 11 ) pass over the metal disk ( 10 ) which turns jointly with the roller ( 9 ) dragged by the bicycle, thereby generating Foucault currents as the disk ( 10 ) moves in relation to the magnetic field, creating a brake torque through the interaction of said currents and the magnetic field; and generating the heat currents through the Joule effect, with a power equivalent to the braking power.
- the magnetic field is generated by means of two magnets ( 11 ) made of neodymium (although, in other embodiments, other magnets can also be used), whose field crosses the space projected by the surface of the metal disk ( 10 ).
- a centrifugal ventilator ( 16 ) in order to evacuate the heat generated in the metal disk ( 10 ), is used moved by the motion of the roller ( 9 ) itself, which drives the air through the inside of the braking system ( 8 ).
- the braking system ( 8 ) comprises an axle ( 17 ) guided by two bearings ( 18 ), with the roller ( 9 ) being situated between them dragged by the bicycle wheel.
- a flywheel ( 19 ) At one end of the axle ( 17 ) there is a flywheel ( 19 ), for the purpose of making pedalling more regular, imitating the inertia effect that the mass of the cyclist plus the bicycle would have on the real road.
- the flywheel ( 19 ) also serves the function of simulating the inertia efforts present when accelerating, due to the mass of the cyclist and the bicycle.
- the present invention comprises, additionally, a stabilisation system consisting of a frame ( 20 ) supported on the ground and attachable to the bicycle by means of one or more joining means such as screws, clamps, brakes or similar devices, in such a way that it does not move laterally or longitudinally throughout the duration of the exercise.

- the braking system ( 8 ) is located on the rear part of the frame ( 20 ).
